The seamless integration of staircase and display area is just one of many unique custom features in this home. The wall treatment is Venetian plaster, the salvaged beams are Douglas Fir, the custom doors are from Atelier Domingue and the overall feel is flawless.

Exposed framing is possible because all the insulation is on the outside of the house. This concept is called "Perfect Wall" and was originally designed by Building Science Corporation's founder Joe Lstiburek.

Making the most of indoor/outdoor entertaining and optimizing as much of its seaside-living environment as possible, this contemporary residence in Corona del Mar utilizes Western Window Systems’ Series 600 Multi-Slide Doors to create additional space for both the homeowners and their lucky guests. A key feature of the nearly 2,000-sq-foot home -- from Brandon Architects Inc. and Patterson Custom Homes -- can be found on the first floor, where Western’s signature retractable doors open to a stylish front terrace.

A family of five, who lives in a prestigious McLean neighborhood, was looking to renovate and upgrade their 20-year-old kitchen. Goals of the renovation were to move the cooktop out of the island, install all professional-quality appliances, achieve better traffic flow and update the appearance of the space.
The plan was to give a French country look to this kitchen, by carrying the overall soft and creamy color scheme of main floor furniture in the new kitchen. As such, the adjacent family room had to become a significant part of the remodel.
The back wall of the kitchen is now occupied by 48” professional range under a custom wood hood. A new tower style refrigerator covered in matching wood panels is placed at the end of the run, just create more work space on both sides of the stove.
The large contrasting Island in a dark chocolate finish now offers a second dishwasher, a beverage center and built in microwave. It also serves as a large buffet style counter space and accommodate up to five seats around it.
The far wall of the space used to have a bare wall with a 36” fireplace in it. The goal of this renovation was to include all the surrounding walls in the design. Now the entire wall is made of custom cabinets, including display cabinetry on the upper half. The fireplace is wrapped with a matching color mantel and equipped with a big screen TV.
Smart use of detailed crown and trim molding are highlights of this space and help bring the two rooms together, as does the porcelain tile floor. The attached family room provides a casual, comfortable space for guest to relax. And the entire space is perfect for family gatherings or entertaining.
